Olivia leaned back in her chair, clicking her pen unconsciously, continuing to do so.
"Can you refrain from doing that? Munch asked, peaking for the top of his glasses. She instantly stopped, too deep in thought to even know who told her to stop with the obnoxious noise. Her concentration was on the jacket draped over the chair in front of her.
He had worn that jacket today. Olivia had given it back to him, but she could still remember the morning she woke up with it spread across her upper body.
At first when she woke up, his scent immediately enveloped her senses and she thought he had stayed, but than she felt the extra layer across her shoulders, she griped it and hugged it to her, bringing the material to her nose, basking in the scent of Elliot.
Olivia had no nightmares that night, and actually ended up dreaming of Elliot, he was lying in her bed, and she was wrapped in his arms, that's all, simple. But it turned out to just be his jacket. She smiled at how the simple gesture was so overwhelming towards her, but that was also a bad thing.
"Olivia!"
Her head quickly shot up to find Cragen standing by her desk,
"Did you finish the paper work on the Olsen case?" he asked, obviously irritated by something.
Her eyebrows shot up and she quickly looked down at the blank papers, she had been day dreaming the good part of the day way and didn't get to the paperwork that wouldn't have taken her long to finish if she actually took the time to do it.
"Um..no." she stated
Olivia picked up her pen and started to work as Cragen left to go to his office. She sighed and turned her head to the computer but winced when the skin on her neck jumbled together when she twisted it, causing pain to the irritation in her skin where Merrit hooked up the 'wires' to her neck, those white patched stuck pretty good and the only way Elliot could get them off was to rip them off.
It wasn't life threatening, it was just annoying that she let her guard down and got herself in that sort of predicament in the first place.
Olivia cursed to herself when she realized she was just staring at the computer screen, day dreaming again.
It had been a crazy few months, but that night didn't seem to change her and Elliot, in fact, they became closer, they were talking outside of work and actually making jokes again, everything seemed lighter between them and Olivia felt like she could actually breath around him again.
It helped her out a lot, she felt like she had her friend back and didn't seem so cornered whenever Elliot was around.
And with that thought running through her mind, she could feel Elliot walk in the squad room, she looked p and flashed him a bright smile, all he did was nod, and Olivia's brow wrinkled. What's wrong?
When he looked behind him that when Olivia saw Kathy walk in, a baby blue carrier dangling form her left hand. Olivia smiled when she saw the baby's little hands and feet flinging about, overwhelmed by his new and big surroundings.
Elliot walked over to his desk and Olivia stood up,
"Hey, Kathy, what's going on?" Olivia knew it was probably none of her business but she wanted Kathy to know that she did care, and Olivia wasn't quite sure where they stood, after Eli was born, Olivia really did want to make amends for anything she may of caused, but she really wasn't sure what she had done wrong.
Kathy walked to the side of Elliot's desk and now held the carrier with both hands,
"Nothing to big, I hope, um could you, could you watch Eli while I talk to Elliot?"
Olivia looked down at Eli and than over at Elliot and than back at Kathy again.
"Sure." Kathy nodded her head and managed to smirk. Kathy gently sat the carrier on her desk, revealing a bouncing boy.
Olivia chuckled and the baby turned his attention to her, a look of confusion flashed over his face, which she found adorable, but that quickly past when she reached an tickled his stomach, causing him to gurgle and laugh at the same time.
"He probably doesn't remember you……" Kathy trailed off. It had been a while since Olivia had seen Eli, which was too bad she wanted to know all of Elliot's children well, and she felt an attachment to Eli, after all she did watch Kathy give birth and she was the first to hold him.
"Oh, that's ok, huh?" she asked the little baby, flinging his legs about, wanting to get out of his chair.
"Can I?" she motioned towards Eli, looking over at Kathy.
"Ya, Elliot and I need to talk."
Elliot first watched Olivia as she undid the straps to the carrier and gingerly lifted him up, cooing at him as she did so, a smile tugging at his lips. Olivia's index finger smoothed over his plump cheek as she sat down on the chair, turning him around and placing him on her lap so he could get a better view of the busy squad room.
Elliot nodded towards Kathy, and watched as his sons eyes lit up when he said to him,
"See ya in a bit little man." Eli shrieked in excitement, pleased to have his father's attention for a few seconds.
When Elliot left Eli looked up at Olivia, but almost fell over, straining his neck for the effort,
"Oh! Don't hurt yourself baby." She soothed. Olivia turned him around so he was straddling her thighs, while her hands rested securely on his tiny sides. She smoothed her hand over his hair, thinking it was coming out to be the same color as Elliot's.
Eli started to become fussy and started to jump around her lap.
"Oh, is that what you want to do?" she asked in what she tried to do as a baby voice, Eli giggled and clapped his hands, Olivia laughed and lifted him up as he began to jump in Olivia's lap, her hands still at his sides.
Olivia looked over at the double doors and wondered what was taking Elliot and Kathy so long. Eli soon yawned and rubbed his left eye lazily. Olivia smiled, she desperately wanted a child, she knew how happy Eli made her when they spent time together, its just amazing to hold this little baby in your arms, someone who will grow and start a family of his own, Olivia laughed at the thought that maybe Eli would be the new cop in the Stabler family, his other kids weren't interested, but it was in your blood, its not a job you take, because its interesting, you take the job because you just know your suppose to, the job takes you really.
Eli yawned again and Olivia pulled him to her chest, she felt touched when he rested his small head on her shoulder.
"Little Eli." She breathed, massaging his small back with her hand, nuzzling her cheek against his fuzzy haired head. Eli was almost asleep when Elliot and Kathy walked in, they both stepped aside of the door and Elliot rested his hands on his hips, as Kathy flung her hands around, Olivia couldn't hear the conversation but knew it wasn't pleasant.
Kathy shook her head and looked over at Olivia and the baby before walking out, Elliot sighed and plopped in his chair, his elbows coming to rest on his knees.
Eli had long fallen asleep in Olivia's arms as she looked at Elliot, trying to meet his gaze. She sighed and stood up from her chair, the squeaking of it caught Elliot's attention and he looked up to see her placing little sleeping Eli in his carrier, careful not to wake him up. Olivia strapped him in and smoothed her hand over his head and smiled, he looked so cut and innocent, his eyes moving under his eyelids, probably having a dream.
She couldn't resist, Olivia bent down and placed a kiss on his forehead. Than Olivia looked up and was surprised to see Elliot staring at her, his eyes moved from the carrier and than back to her almond colored eyes.
"He asleep?" he asked quietly, Olivia smirked and looked down at the little bundle,
"Ya, I guess he found me boring." She joked,
"It didn't take him too long to figure that one out." He said while getting up, a wide smile plastered on his face as he watched his youngest child dream,
"Oh." Olivia laughed with a smile, giving Elliot a small, playful push. Olivia's face turned serious and she sighed,
"What happened between you and Kathy just now?" she questioned, Elliot rested his hands on his hips, his eyes returning to little Eli.
"Kathy wanted me to take a week off from work to visit her mother, after I told her I couldn't miss that much of the job, she got angry and decided to go anyway, taking the twins along too, Kathleen didn't want to go and Maureen has college.
Olivia nodded her head,
"El, you have enough vacation days that are starting to collect dust—"
"No, I just….I just want to work." He stated with a sigh.
"So, it's me, Kathleen and Eli, it all works out, than Kathleen doesn't have to ruin the twins and Kathy's time complaining about being there in the first place, everybody wins."
"Well, I guess if that's what you want—"
"Stabler!"
Both Elliot and Olivia looked up to see Cragen walking out of his office.
"You just got a break in the Walker case; Fin is waiting of you in the parking garage."
Elliot looked up at him and than Olivia,
"But Capt. I gotta drop off Eli—"
"No, go ahead Elliot, Ill do it." Olivia said, jumping in.
"Are you sure?"
"Ya, I already typed up my D-D5 on the last case so I can go home."
Elliot nodded and threw her his keys,
"Take my car, it has his car seat." He informed her.
"Ok."
Elliot grabbed his jacket and jogged out, they had both been working on separate cases the past couple of days, so they really hadn't seen much of each other that much. Olivia organized her desk, taking glances at Eli every now and than; she smiled when he was still vast asleep.
When Olivia finished cleaning up, she shrugged on her, black coat and draped Elis carrier over her forearm as they both walked out of the squad room.
When Olivia reached Elliot's car it took her about 15 mins to figure out how to snap in Elis carrier and pull the seat belt across that. She was defiantly new when it came to things like that, she could figure out a serial rapist motive in a heart beat, but baby and child doo-dads, No idea.
This should be interesting she thought
